‘Among the Righteous:’ Arabs Saving Jews in the Holocaust | The Middle East Channel
“Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust in Arab lands,” is a new documentary I made in partnership with MacNeil-Lehrer Productions, airing tonight on PBS. It retells largely forgotten stories from World War II in North Africa of Arabs who saved their Jewish neighbors from the Holocaust — a story which Holocaust historiography has largely left untouched. The documentary digs into history to uncover not only cases of Jewish persecution in North Africa similar to the Jewish experience in Europe, but also stories of the “righteous” Arabs that protected Jews. Filmed in eight different countries stretching from Morocco to Israel, the documentary reveals surprising discoveries about the past that can help challenge how Arabs and Jews alike view this part of Holocaust history.The documentary airs tonight on PBS at 10 p.m. eastern time.

American Family Association: Deport All Muslims
April 09, 2010 12:49 pm ET by Walid ZafarThe American Family Association’s Director of Issues Analysis, the detestable Bryan Fischer, has penned another one of his intolerable policy recommendations. Fischer suggests that the US deport all Muslims. If we fail in our efforts, he writes, “it may soon be too late to save what is left of American culture.”
The whisteblower website WikiLeaks — which exploded onto the national
stage earlier this month after it
released a video recording showing US servicemembers shooting two
reporters and six others to death — says they plan to release another,
even more harrowing clip.The clip will show previously classified
footage from US warplanes that had been tapped to bomb Taliban
positions in Farah province, Afghanistan last year.

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya related from al-Sulami that al-Junayd said: “The truthful seeker (al-murid al-sadiq) has no need for the scholars of knowledge”
“When Allah desires great goodness for the seeker, He makes him flock to the Sufis and prevents him from accompanying those who read books (al-qurra’).
-Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Madarij al-Salikin (2:366
The Imam of the Two Groups (Sufis and fuqaha), our master al-Junayd was told: “Certain people indulge in wajd or ecstatic behavior, and sway with their bodies.” He replied: “Leave them to their happiness with Allah. They are the ones whose affections have been smashed by the path and whose breasts have been torn apart by effort, and they are unable to bear it. There is no blame on them if they breathe awhile as a remedy for their intense state. If you tasted what they taste, you would excuse their exuberance.”
-Seventh Letter in Shifa` al-`Alil wa Ball al-Ghalil fi Hukm al-Wasiyya bi al-Khatamat wa al-Tahalil (p. 172-173)
